Our winner picker algorithm is based on a very sophisticated random number generator algorithm so the winning ticket is chosen based on sheer chance. We frequently post success stories on our news and comments page with testimonies of happy winners who have recently received their prize. We are also building trust relationships with our suppliers and shippers so they can verify our integrity as an independent third party.
